Prefatory. 

This little book is intended to give an intelligent view of 
the leading facts of the history of our country to boys and 
girls in the grammar schools, and to aid them in classifying 
and arranging their ideas of such facts according to their 
importance and relations. By dividing history into periods 
and grouping the events of each into natural subdivisions 
by the laws of association and dependence, the knowledge 
obtained will be systematic and available. By the use of 
these " Topical Studies " in connection with the " Memory 
Lessons," it is believed that pupils can, in a short time, fix 
in mind historic centers, around which conversation, in- 
struction and the extensive reading, as suggested in the mar- 
ginal references, will add material for growth and power. 

Conversation, properly conducted, is invaluable in the 
school-room. The contact of mind with mind in the free 
interchange of thought among pupils, under the judicious 
restraint and guided by the opportune suggestions of a wise 
teacher, will do more to excite interest and promote investi- 
gation than any formal recitation. To aid in bringing about 
this result is the purpose of ^the " Conversational Lessons." 

1 desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. S. C. 
Pierce, Principal of Grammar School No. 4, for his timely 
suggestions, valuable criticisms and kind assistance in the 
preparation of this manual. J. G. A. 

Rochester, N, Y., Sep., 1885. 



IV. 

Suggestions. 

Give a short series of conversational lessons (p. viii.) with a 
view to- make some of the fundamental historical ideas in- 
telligible. 

Then should follow a series of brief memory lessons as a 
preliminary outline sketch, giving a comprehensive view of 
the whole subject (pp. ix-xvii). 

This will prepare the pupils for the " General Topical 

Outline " (p. i) which should be thoroughly mastered for 
the sake of the same view, in another form and more in de- 
tail. 

This *' Outline " should be amplified as suggested in the 
pages which follow it. Each general topic will then serve as 
a nucleus or historic center around which.the particular facts, 
as they become known, m,ay be grouped and localized in 
their due position among other facts to which they are re- 
lated. It is not necessary that pupils should memorize 
all the facts of a school-history, but it is necessary that they 
should be provided with a taste for historical reading and 
with both the ability and the disposition to study the sub- 
ject systematically for themiselves. Provided with sound 
principles of historical investigation and right methods of 
acquisition, their knowledge \vill have germinating power 
and will grow in their future world of reading and conver- 
sation. 

Assign lessons by topics, not by pages. 

The sequence of events and their relations are of more 
importance than dates. Observe well the order of depend- 



y. 

ence. Assist pupils in determining the natural order of 
thoughts. Supply the necessary details not found in the 
text-books to which the pupils have access. 

Teach the meaning of words. 

Forbid all verbatim recitations of sentences and para- 
graphs, except special memory lessons and choice selections. 

Do not advance too rapidly. Review often. 

Carefully but briefly explain important allusions to Euro- 
pean history as occasion requires. 

Ethical teaching; should begin with the first lesson and 
continue to the last. The lives of good men and women 
should be subjects of frequent conversations and composi- 
tion writing. 

Composition writing is the best method of review. 

The study of United States History should infuse into 
the minds of American youths the American spirit, a 

benevolent disposition toward all classes of American citi- 
zens, a profound regard for all sections of the country, an 
admiration for free institutions, a willing obedience to the 
Constitution and laws, and a deep and abiding love for the 
Union.

X. AMERICAN HISIORY.

5. A German named Waldsee-Miiller published 
an interesting account of Amerigo's adven- 
tures. This work was the first description 
of the New World. 

III. European Claims. 

1. The Spaniards explored and settled in the 

West Indies, South America, Mexico, Florida 
and New Mexico. All this territory they 
claimed by right of the discoveries of Colum.- 
bus and others. 

2. The English explored the Atlantic coast and 

claimed all the adjacent territory, which they 
divided into two parts, under the names of 
North Virginia and South Virginia. Their 
claim was based on the discoveries of the 
Cabots. 

3. The French explored the Atlantic coast, the 

St. Lawrence, Ohio and Mississippi Valleys, 
and named their newly-acquired territory 
New France. They based their claim on the 
discoveries of Verrazzani, Cartier, La Salle 
and others. 

4. The Dutch named their American territory 

New Netherlands, and based their claim on 
Henry Hudson's discoveries. 



AMERICAN HISTORY. .XI 

IV. Conflicting Claims. 

The European claims overlapped one another, 
and because there were no definite boundaries 
there was much confusion, which resulted in rival- 
ries, disputes and wars. 

1. Florida comprised nearly all the territory now 

occupied by the United States. New Mex- 
ico included the vast regions along the Pacific 
coast. 

2. Virginia extended from the Savannah River to 

the St. Lawrence and westward to the Pacific. 

3. New France included Acadia (Nova Scotia), 

Canada, the basin of the Great Lakes and 
the Mississippi Valley. 

4. New Netherlands extended from Cape May to 

Nova Scotia and indefinitely west. 

The hunting-grounds of the Indians comprised 
all the territory claimed by the Europeans. 

None of these nations had any idea of the vast 
extent of territory covered by their claims. 

V. Early Wars. 

1. The English colonies had wars with the In 

dians in whose country they had settled, and 
with the neighboring French colonies. 

2. The Indians and the French were conquered 

and the lands were occupied by the English.

pie," p. 599. 

1. These colonists were people of intelligence and 

self-reliance. 

2. Driven by living in settlements distant from the 

seat of government and by an unwise policy 
of the British rulers, they developed a spirit 
of political freedom which led to an inde- 
pendent self-government.

VII. Revolution. 

I. The national debt of Great Britain was much 
increased by the French wars ; a tyrannical 
system of taxation resulted in revolution 
on the part of the American colonists ; war 
was waged one year, against the mother 
country, for a redress of grievances ; but be- 
ing unable to obtain this, the War became 
one for Independence, and was continued 
until the colonies became a nation of free 
and independent states. 

VIII. The Confederation. 



1. The government, at the close of the war, was a 

League of States. 

2. The Articles of Confederation were agreed 

to in 1777 and remained in force till 1789, 
conferring powers inadequate to meet the ex- 
igencies of the public service.

I The entire interest centers in Foreign Rela- 
■' tions ; they control domestic history. 2 Mi- 
lan Decree abolished, 1810. 3 Read the affairs 
of the Little Belt and the Indian War. 4 War 
declared June 19, 1812. 5 Its two chief causes. 
6 Read the details of the military and naval 
operations. 7 Observe briefly, in outline : 

First — The aggressive expeditions into Canada, 
from Detroit to the St. Lawrence ; their gen- 
eral failure. 

Second — The smallness of the navy — its brilliant 
success ; but little direct influence on the for- 
tunes of the war, except upon the Lakes. 
Utter destruction of American commerce.

" man's two hundred and fifty years of un- 
" requited toil shall be sunk, and until every 
" drop of blood, drawn with the lash, shall be 
" paid with another drawn with the sword, as

How the President and Viee-President are Chosen. 

The candidates are nominated by delegates in national 
conventions. The people do not vote directly for Presi- 
dent or for Vice-President. They vote for electors who 
choose these officers. (See Electoral College, page 64.) 
Each political party issues an electoral ticket in every State 
with the names of the legitimate number of electors printed 
on it, and the ticket which receives the greatest number of 
popular votes in that State, names the electors whom the 
people of that commonwealth have chosen. The election 
for President and Vice-President is held on the first Tues- 

Congress, on the 4th of March. To find the number of a Congress 
sitting in any given year, subtract 1789 from the year ; if the result is 
an even number, half that number will give the Congress, of which 
the year in question will be the closing year. If the result is an odd 
number, add one to it, and half the result will give the Congress, of 
which the year in question will be the first year. — Spofford's Ameri- 
can Almanac.

day after the first Monday in. November every fourth year. 
The electors meet at the Capital in their respective States 
on the first Wednesday in December following the election, 
and vote for President and Vice-President. Legally they 
are not bound to vote for any particular candidate, but 
may vote for whom they please. As a matter of usage 
and public trust they are expected to vote for the candidates 
of their party. They name in their ballots' the persons for 
President and Vice President, and make distinct lists for all 
those voted for, and the number of votes for each. These 
lists the electors sign, certify, and transmit by special mes- 
senger to the seat of government at Washington, directed to 
the presiding officer of the Senate, who, on the second 
Wednesday in February, in the presence of the members 
of both houses of congress, causes the certificates to be 
opened and the votes counted. The whole number of 
electoral votes (1884-5) i^ 4^1 > corresponding in number to 
325 representatives and 76 senators. The candidate receiv- 
ing the majority of these — i. e. 201 — becomes thereby 
President. If no person have such majority then from the 
persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on 
the list of those voted for as President, the House of Repre- 
sentatives chooses immediately by ballot the President. The 
vote in the House is taken by States, each State having 
one vote.
